Gullfiber Supply Deal With Aga

Sweden's AGA and Gullfiber have reportedly signed a new long-term agreement, valued at SKr 36m, including both deliveries and technical development in Sweden and Poland. The agreement covers the supply of oxygen for furnaces used to manufacture fibreglass and mineral wool in Gliwice (Poland). The new fibreglass furnace, which represents an extension of Gullfiber's production in Poland, will use a melting method based on a technique using only oxygen instead of air (oxyfuel). Gullfiber AG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saint-Gobain and had a turnover of SKr 2,100m in 1997. The company employs over 1600 people.
